Got some new running shoes this weekend-Saucony Guides-and wanted to see how they were to run in. Went to the track and ran a couple of miles. Legs felt like lead today. Sore and blah feeling all over! Timed a couple of my 400's and couldn't do any better that 1:50. BOO!! Should have just rested instead, but at least I got my blood moving anyway. It is still really hot here especially for the middle of September.

On the bright side, the shoes are good-
Came home and foam rolled my legs.

Terribly slow on the piked pushups. Very weak at this exercise!! I need to start doing inverted pushups in my warmup it looks like. I have no problem with doing or holding handstands, it is just the pushup that I suck at! Need much work in this area. Running the stairs is always hard too. Turns the legs to jello

no cool down today-late for a meeting.

May do Annie and front squats tomorrow. Sounds like a fun combo!

Feel like my lifts have all stalled out. Considering doing SS again but I don't want to lose my conditioning! I did a cycle early this year and tried to still do CF. It was too much! Not sure what to do........

Annie

10:42

Couldn't do doubles to save my life. Until the last 2 rounds I only got 5 at a time without missing. Maybe my legs were tired from the squats or something. I finally took off my shoes and got the last 2 rounds unbroken. I can usually do 15-20 without a miss. Oh well. I can look forward to a big PR on Annie next time I guess!

On Saturday, I ran in the Marine Mud Run. It was a 5K with a lot of obstacles,hills, and as the name indicates, lots of mud. I finished in 33:42. It was a lot of fun except for the torn up knees from gravel down in the mud pits and some random bruises. Resting today and then tomorrow, back to CrossFit!

Legs are not too sore from the 400 m lunges. Much less than the last time I did the workout. Most of the soreness in in my hamstrings and glutes. I could really feel them in the warmup doing the back extensions on the GHD. Did not seem to be a factor in today's workout though-felt pretty good.

Tomorrow-rest day
